# Replication Package README file

## 1. General Information
- **Paper Title:** Deskilling technology affords work amenity, increases labor supply
- **Authors:** Pinchuan Ong | I.P.L. Png
- **Journal:** Strategic Management Journal
- **DOI:**  10.1002/smj.70017 

## 2. Software Requirements
- **Software:** Stata (version 18 required).  
- **Additional Packages:** (Stata packages: `reghdfe`, `twoway_parea`,`ppmlhdfe`).  
- **Estimated Runtime:** (Figures & Tables: Immediate | Bootstrap: Hours).  

## 3. Data Description
This replication package contains **3 datasets**:

1. `vignette_experiment.dta` – (processed raw data; contains all necessary variables for viegnette experiment analysis).  
2. `field_experiment.dta` – (processed raw data; contains all necessary variables for field experiment analysis).  
3. `incdpar_bootstrap_result.dta` – (bootstrap result data; reproducible using `incdpar.do`).  

## 4. Codes Description
This package contains **5 Stata `.do` files**:

1. `pipeline.do` - Sets working directory and runs the entire replication without breaks. 
2. `main.do` - Main analysis, generate all final tables and figures used in the main literature.
3. `supp.do` – Supplimentary analysis, generates all final tables and figures used in the appendix.  
4. `incdpar.do` - Runs bootstrap to calculate adjustment for incidental parameters bias; produces intermediate data files `incdpar_bootstrap.dta` and `incdpar_bootstrap_result.dta`; takes hours to run. 
5. `analysis_programs.do` - Contains all self-constructed programs used in the analysis. 

## 5. Replication Instructions
1. Place all files in the same working directory.  
2. Open Stata, set the working directory to the replication folder.  
3. Run `pipeline.do`, it will sequentially calls the others and reproduces all results.
